Why Maths Specialist Teaching?
Maths Teaching Methodology
Riding on the teaching methodology of the successful evidence-based DAS Maths programme, every stage of learning of our One-to-One support ensures that the child links mathematical ideas progressively and cumulatively. The programme helps to bridge the gap between your child's ability and the mainstream syllabus by addressing areas where they are weaker. This is done through a C-R-A (Concrete-Representational-Abstract) approach. The methodology applied constantly keeps in touch with the mainstream school Maths syllabus at both MOE and International schools, intending to bridge the gap between the student's ability and the mainstream syllabus.
Our Philosophy
The Specialist Maths Support is guided by the following principles:
- Language-based
- Structured, cumulative and sequential
- Simultaneously multi-sensory
- Emotionally sound
- Cognitive
Students facing challenges in Maths may be experiencing the following difficulties
- Weakness in short-term memory
- Understanding the vocabulary of mathematics
- Problems with sequencing
- Challenges following multi-step calculations
We use concrete materials and teaching manipulatives to explain basic maths concepts to students where necessary. Students are provided with hands-on experience to handle these materials to aid their understanding of the relevant maths concepts.
DAS International has a team of specialist teachers who have extensive experience in supporting students with specific learning differences and other learning needs. Our specialist teachers are experienced in the International as well as the Ministry of Education (MOE) systems, they have an understanding of the curriculum and the demands that today's education systems place on your child.
